 * Hi
 * I am using Recent Posts block, I have created a category for items to appear 
   on HomePage, select this category in the block editor section of the block, but
   it continues to show all categories regardless. If I publish and preview it still
   has all category items showing (including Uncategorized), Not quite sure if this
   is a bug as can not seen any other way that this should work. Maybe looking forward
   a tick list of categories may be better to allow more than one and/or Uncategorized
   items.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@cliffo4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffo4/),
    I’ve tested the
   Recent Posts block by Getwid and could not replicate the issue. It filtered the
   posts by certain category correctly. I used 1.6.3 version to test it. Could you
   update the plugin and share the link to your site where we can take a closer 
   look at Recent Posts block?

 * Thanks for that – its on a duplicate copy of a live site on my local machine.
   It is using 1.6.3. Is there some other way of diagnosing whats being read or 
   the query to get the data?

 * Hi [@cliffo4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cliffo4/),
    Could you provide
   screenshot(s) of the Recent Block settings? You may try disabling third-party
   plugins to see if there is one that causes an issue.
